Does it not make you feel good when you raise a pup and work that pup all the time watching it grow, getting better with each time out until you have a fine hound to run
In the beagle world being great isn't running your mouth about how great you hound and kennel is but it the joy of working a special hound molding it into the best having your friends and people you don't know brag about this hound. Talk about how you know how to train and work these great hounds. If you are bragging on you hounds and no one else is there's a problem.
I go to his grave anytime over the year to just sit and talk to my favorite hound its hard to believe but this hound changed my life to say we only get a once in a life time hound is true because I don't think I will every get another like him. I still have pictures and video of this hound that I look at all the time. This hound was like family to me he is gone but I still miss him everyday.
